情绪表达行为通常（但并非总是）与生理反应呈负相关。为了验证文化背景调节表现力和生理反应之间关系的假设，我们让亚裔美国女性和欧裔美国女性面对面地谈论一部令人痛苦的电影。持续测量血压，并根据录像带对情绪表达能力进行评分。结果表明，欧美混血儿的情绪表达行为与血压呈负相关，而亚裔混血儿的情绪表达行为与血压呈正相关。这些结果表明情绪表达行为和生理反应之间的联系可能取决于文化背景。对这种效应的一种可能解释是，文化背景塑造了个体在社会交往中对情感表达的理解。
Emotion-expressive behavior is often – but not always -- inversely related to physiological responding. To test the hypothesis that cultural context moderates the relationship between expressivity and physiological responding, we had Asian American and European American women engage in face-to-face conversations about a distressing film in same-ethnicity dyads. Blood pressure was measured continuously and emotional expressivity was rated from videotapes. Results indicated that emotion-expressive behavior was inversely related to blood pressure in European American dyads, but the reverse was true in Asian American dyads who showed a trend towards a positive association. These results suggest that the links between emotion-expressive behavior and physiological responding may depend upon cultural context. One possible explanation for this effect may be that cultural contexts shape the meaning individuals give to emotional expressions that occur during social interactions.
